It’s 2017 and we’re just so excited for another brand new year with brand new wedding ideas and trends to check out. But before we jump into all that’s new, here’s a roundup of all that we loved last year. We dug into our bridal files to bring you some of the most fabulous beauty looks from last year. Each of these brides stunned us with their flawless and glamorous makeup and even if we tried hard, we swear, it wasn’t easy to look away! Check out these 10 bridal beauty looks of 2016 that are just too pretty.
1. The winged eyeliner

The beautiful bride gave Reds a rest and her bright orange lipstick stole the show. But more than that, it was her classic vintage eye makeup that was anything but ordinary. A soft smokey effect, heavy mascara and extended winged eyeliner made this look one of our favourites.
2. Pinks & Reds

This look stood out for us because of the unique combination of red and pink. And we have to admit that the bride truly nailed it. The shimmering pink eyeshadow fades into grey and the bold eyebrows add all the extra drama. Finishing off the look was a blood red lipstick and a bindi to match.
3. Golden girl

The one beauty look that took 2016 wedding watchers by storm was this! It’s hard to look away from this image. Lots of metallic gold glitter, tonnes of mascara and a defined eyeliner made the eyes completely stand out. Bold red lips and a tiny bindi made the bride’s face pop and completed her traditional yet glamorous bridal look.
4. Fresh and fabulous

It’s always refreshing to see a bride keep it minimal and nice. The eyes here were defined with a thin stroke of winged eyeliner and a natural pink eyeshadow. We adored the fresh and dewy makeup and thumbs up to the stunning mauve-pink lip colour that was all kinds of fab.
5. Eyes like that!

Just look at those eyes! How could we not put this look into our 2016 favourites? The shimmering gold eyeshadow breaks into a black smokey effect at the corners and looks absolutely spectacular. A hint of blush on the cheeks and candy pink lipstick completed this oh-so-fabulous look.

7. Glitter and gold

A traditional bridal look, it’s hard to take your eyes off this image. The dramatic eye makeup was a show stealer with the gold glitter eyeshadow, thick winged eyeliner and layers of mascara. The lipstick was a beautiful shade of Maroon-Red and well, the picture as you can see, looks just perfect.
